Even better if the energy from the pyrolysis offgas can be made use of.

I have seen large areas sprayed with dioxin to kill it – whole farms of it.

Well yes but the intention was presumably to  spray it with synthetic
auxins,  to trigger unregulated growth in the angiosperms. These were 2,4,5
T  and 2,4 D in agent orange but it was a cheaply manufactured formulation
and the dioxin was an unintended high  contaminant of the mixture
(apparently there is always some dioxin produced in the synthesis but
agricultural formulations had much less). I had the job of applying 2,4,5,T
in my youth.
